For a very long time--late...Such a beautiful post. <br />For a very long time--late high school and most of college--I struggled with the "what will life be like in 10 years?" question. I didn't know what I wanted to major in, to do after college, and I was discerning whether I was called to marriage or not. Then I started dating Chuck, and then we got engaged--and finally! I had my picture. He would be a doctor, I'd be a stay at home mom, we'd have at least 4-5 kids by the 10 year mark. I suppose that is still a possibility--we got engaged less than 2.5 years ago, so we have time... but obviously its not looking to be likely. I can't picture "10 years from now" anymore. <br /><br />But you're right. We should try to look at whether we'll be holier and happier--not what our house and our families will look like.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914343351803930748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354490057851633467.post-6593290347584308602013-01-12T14:37:42.843-08:002013-01-12T14:37:42.843-08:00I agree!

I get that prudence is a virtue and especially with finances we can and should make wise decisions, but illness happens and infertility happens and we need to know how to let go of our plans too. Basic Discipleship, I think.

Our culture is so much about business and planning and there are certain things that are out of .your control. This whole childless journey has taught me so much about letting go of control and trying to plan when we would have children.
